Morphea is a localized form of scleroderma that presents with dermal thickening and fibrotic plaques in the absence of internal organ involvement. Like many autoimmune conditions, these plaques have many different phases, starting out as active, red plaques before later burning out, leaving white, fibrotic plaques behind. Many drugs have been shown to induce morphea, including bleomycin and bromocriptine.
